Update Blog - 3/7/20 (Patreon)

After getting a bunch of reviews done, I never expected that my week at work would be filled with fantasy...quite literally! From the video I released, to the videos I'm planning, to even what I'm working on now, the fantasy genre decided that it needed a lot of attention out of me with my videos. Hopefully that magic will help make them good!

- Released my review of The Swan Princess: It's been many years since I've seen this movie. I remember watching this and the first two sequels a few times back in the late 1990s, so I thought coming back to it should at least be interesting. Well...considering my experience nowadays with watching tons of animated features, this is just one of the many at the time that would be thrown in the category of a "1990s Disney clone". While I do admire the effort put into the animation and a few jokes did give me a laugh, there's just little originality for me to get hooked on and truly enjoy the experience. Even how Richard Rich tried to branch out of Disney by making his own animated works is just him trying to be like Don Bluth, but never achieved the same level of success as him. I won't necessarily say this movie is terrible, nor is it even the worst of these clones, but it was a rather forgettable experience with little substance to appreciate. Maybe for the next one, it can get more interesting and that's what I'm expecting out of All Dogs Go To Heaven 2. I already reviewed the first, but I've never seen this one, but considering that it did get a theatrical release, this should supply some form of substance...or at least substance for the review.

- Finished working on a Special Review: During my marathoning of creating review after review, I finally came to the finish line of that at the start of the week by completing one more special review. I made sure to pay careful attention in the editing to make sure everything can fit well and it's all in good quality and I think at least this one will turn out to be a fine review. On top of that, I did go back to some of the recent reviews I've done and made some quick revisions to fix up little nitpicks. It's always good to give an extra polish, right? I feel like it was a good thing done to get those videos ready before jumping to the next video. Expect some surprising and fun reviews soon!

- Started production on the next AL Walt Disney Animation Studios +: Now with the reviews done, it is time to return to create the latest part of ALWDAS+! And this time, we're about to enter into a brand new story. I know this one is going to be a pretty significant part since this is when the new animators come in along with some very familiar names leading Disney like Michael, Frank and Jeffery. I even started this out by fully watching Waking Sleeping Beauty and take notes to prepare myself for the next few parts with their involvement. At this point, I'm just starting the writing where I would say I'm about 1/4 of the way in, so there's a lot more to be said and done and I know what's coming up is when it'll get crazy at Disney especially when getting into The Black Cauldron (that'll probably end up being the biggest segment of the part). It'll be a challenge to dive deep into this chapter in Disney's history, but I'm fully ready to go at it.

- Currently working on my review of Onward: Right now, ALWDAS+ Has to be put on a temporary hold because I'm currently making my review of Pixar's latest movie and the first mainstream animated film of 2020, Onward. It's been nothing but mixed feelings I've seen so far about it, not terrible, but certainly not the standard reception or anticipation you'd expect from a Pixar feature. I wouldn't be surprised if the result end up being something like Brave where it's good, but not Pixar good. At least, that's what I'm expecting AT BEST it could be. But if I think that's actually the case, that's what I'm trying to do right now and you'll see what I will have to say next week!

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $25+/MONTH: I will have my first episode of the Super Secret Patreon Exclusive Q&A Show ready and released for Monday the 16th. If you have a question you'd like me to answer for the show, message me and mention that it's for the Secret Q&A Show.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Thursday the 12th, and Sunday the 15th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

So that's been my week at work. Managed to get a lot done and even started a lot too. The fantasy magic will continue next week because of the Onward review and working on telling more stories on the making of Disney films, but I'll do what I can to turn this magic into something real good. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
